What is a string bender?

Simply put it is a mechanism that is generally an after market add-on for guitars (primarily Telecaster style but can be installed on any guitar that does not have a tremelo installed) that puts the well known sound of the whining steel guitar in the hands of today’s most innovative guitar players.

Brad Paisley’s extra-terrestrial style of chickin’/hybrid pickin’ is one of many success stories for McVay Benders. Brad has been using our system for years. Next time you hear his music listen for the whine while he plays an instrumental and you’ll put two and two together. However two and two with a McVay String Bender… Yeah, the result is much more than four! Brad employs a simple version of our system in which we have installed only a g-bender on his guitars.
